In todays paper his stats from yesterday read like this ,19 Hit ups ,161 running meters ,1 off load , 9 tackles 1 missed , our right sides stats with roger and skd combined is 37 hit ups 329 running meters 2 off loads 13 combined tackles , skd 1st in the team in hit ups roger 2nd and 3rd and 1st in running meters , seems to me alot of wallsters on this forum have got it wrong , im a big skd fan i wont lie bout that , but even the harshest rooster fan would have to admit that that is a top centers game , more hit ups than ANY of our forwards all hard yards through the middle against a team who for the 1st half matched us up front and were unlucky not to lead going into the 2nd half , thats one hell of a way to shut your doubters up SKD , my sources tell me theres more to come , and that getting his defense sorted in the first 10 rounds of this season leaves him 16 rounds barring injury to bring his attacking game back into play unlucky not to be the man of the match for mine way to go SKD

what I liked about him yesterday was that he was prepared to charge straight into defenders, instead of always having to throw in the right foot step -
Absolutely, even after Plum smashed him he kept going.Originally posted by tony the wheel View Post
It was good to see JWH and LOD give one back to Plum later in the game; and Docker also got one back from SBW and co.Comment

I have noticed that he is running straighter & harder for his hitups. Still needs to work on his drawing & passing to the winger. Defence has improved alot, though would like to see how he goes in the next 3 games against Manly, Cowboys & StormComment

Yeah I noticed this against St George too...he went hard yesterday, but still some errors there which is frustrating.Originally posted by tony the wheel View Post
I'll back him though...I'm a fan and I reckon he'll end up doing OK for us in the long run.Comment

He was good yesterday. He should be taking advantage of his size and playing as an extra forward when required. Someone has been in his ear. Maybe something along the lines of, "Stop being such a pussy!"
Well done SKD!Comment

A thrashing of Penrith where our strike centre yet again failed to make a line break of score a try.
Did he play well? Yes. Was he outstanding? Nowhere near.
All this talk of shutting the doubters up. Please. He has been poor this season. Look where most of the oppositions tries came from.
Michael Jennings is showing us what a true centre is on both sides of the ball.Comment

Jennings is going well no doubt about it , imo in fairness we havnt had to many tries scored own that side , cant remember the last 1 to be honest , jennings defends right to left in passing options most peoples normal side , skd defends right to left shifts which is more difficult to defend , Im not sold on jennings yet he cant even make the national side and will get shown up in state of o , check his stats out from yesterday stats dont lie i could of scored those trys not convinced yet still think hes overatedOriginally posted by BigMike View PostComment

Exactly my point in one of the other SKD threads that was started over the weekend. FMD it's on the first bloody page. I can't wait for the SKD Appreciation thread to start.Originally posted by BigMike View Post
Yes he is improving and he is running straight and his defense is getting better but SBW and Pearce and still covering his bad reads. I want to read this sh!t about RTS or Moga who are still learning the ropes of NRL. Not a seasoned 5-6 year player sucking $400K out of our cap. I hope they p!ss him off at the end of the year and get better value out of two $200K players or throw more money at Izzy.
Over the past 5-6 years he has played craap. This year he has played craap in some games and ok in others. Nothing flash about anything he has done this year. His game yesterday would get him a 6 out 10 and tha't generous. He showed nothing special in 80 minutes. His highlight reel showed Plum nail him. That's it. Oh but he got up. Let's all have a BBQ!!!!Comment

knowing how piss poor our club is at player retention thats a real possibilty , hell pay him out the 800k , quite obviously your off the pulse buddy have a look down the lower grades for centers for his replacement there is jack shit , which means what all our bets are on this current 17 , my point will be made when the state of origin begins you will really see where the clubs stocks are at and will be requiring our senior players SKD included to step upOriginally posted by BUDDY View PostComment

wowOriginally posted by rooster09 View Post
the most ridiculous comment of the year
he's the best centre the club's had in 40 years, but you're still "not sold"
"he can't even make the national side"
gee, he must be shit then
"I could have scored those tries"
lolComment

SKD had a solid game yesterday. His hit ups were very strong. Ran much harder and straighter than he usually does!Comment

you forget 1 important factor tony , where was he when penrith were going bad , in 2011 and 2012 , plus hes playing in a team thats winning , and when hes the kangaroo and nsw center then ill take your point, read the media hype all you want this is a long seasonOriginally posted by tony the wheel View PostComment

What a goose. If the Warriors pick him up we won't pay anywhere near $800K. Read my post again. I said get two better players for $200K each. Have you heard of Moga? Even shift RTS into centre and give him some early ball and he would do more in one game than SKD has done all year. And you aren't sold Jennings. Do you think the guys ask Robbo to rewind the video when SKD takes one of his straight hit ups?Originally posted by rooster09 View Post
Go and find the idiot who tatooed his name on her arm and do the same.Comment
